New accomplishment

Carter was reading to Savannah today while she was in her crib, and all the sudden he looked over and she was pulling herself up in her crib. I came up and saw and was totally surprised. Carter thought maybe she had done that already but she hadn't. She was doing really well at it. A few times she lost her balance and almost fell, but she'd just keep pulling herself right back up. We just put her bed lower a few minutes ago so now I think she's frustrated that she can't reach. She'll figure it out soon enough I'm sure.

Savannah in her highchair

We finally got a highchair the other day, at Target of course. Doesn't she look so tiny in it?
She sure is cruising around, getting into everything. We did some re-arranging in our family room the other day and took out stuff that she'd just pull on top of her and moved the furniture all around. We have so much more space now. I can't believe it took us a year to figure out a better set up that makes the room look so much bigger.

Later at home

"It wasn't me." Then who did it?
"I don't know."

More Playdate pics- 7/17

The Grandmas.
NOOOOO............I DON'T WANT STELLA TO LEAVE!! I WANT TO PLAY MORE!

Our playdate with Melissa & Stella...Grandmas were there too : )

It is so weird to think that Savannah was ever as small as Stella. It goes by so fast and then all the sudden they're crawling around.



Of course Savannah and Stella had to be completely out of it when we took these pictures, but they're still cute.

Buns Up

What's new

Well, it seems like once Savannah hit the 9 month mark, she started rapidly making huge strides. She isn't crawling per say, but she is getting around. Her own version of crawling I'd say. She was getting into all our movies on our entertainment center the other night and I was like, "OK, it's starts now" and Carter was just laughing and saying out much he loved it. We'll see how much he loves it if she gets hold of a LOST DVD or something. She is just so curious and she doesn't sit still very long. She's eating more foods now and making more of a mess too. She's starting to fight us a little more on going to bed as well. It's going to be so fun to see how much she changes in the next few months. In 3 months she's going to be a year!! That is crazy. We're definitely having a big party!!
Carter has been at his new job, as a Target Backroom Manager, for a little over a week now. He likes it a lot and it's so much better than Blockbuster. We actually get to see him and he gets 2 WHOLE days off a week, rather than 1 or none. He's going to have a great schedule were most days he'll be working 7am to 3:30 pm. It was a good move for us. I'm still doing the Borders thing once a week and it's pretty much the same. The mystery shopping is hit and miss but it's fun to do.

Savannah's 1st time in the pool

yeah, I don' t know about this guys.....but, I do know, that I have the coolest hair EVER!

So sleepy

This was on the 6th. OK, so this girl is a riot right now. Well, this picture is just so funny and cute at the same time, but we can't get her to sleep on her back or really her side anymore either. She just flips over to her tummy. Today, the 9th, was her 9 month birthday! I can't believe how fast it has gone by. She started clapping today. It was so adorable. I was on the computer and looked over and she was clapping away. It seems like today she has been extremely mobile as well. Carter and I both were playing with her on the bed today at different times, and she was just all over the place. Now, if you put her on the floor, she just sits there. No clue why, but apparently she likes our bed and feels the need to crawl all over it. It was so cute. She's trying so hard. She is just so funny lately too. Tonight, Carter was reading through the phonebook out loud and she just started cracking up at him so he just kept doing it and she kept laughing. I love that babies are amused by the weirdest things.

Playing.

MEOOOOW.....
Aunt Larissa and Grandma Barbara came over and wanted to play. Savannah seemed to like sitting on Larissa's shoulders and being up high.

My family's views

We walked down to the marina by my family's house on July 4th, and this is the view from the marina. When we went back later to watch fireworks, some kids caught some brush of fire by some houses and we had to call the fire department. Luckily they got it out fast, before the fire department even got there.

This is the view from my family's house.

Fourth of July Continued...

I think this was Savannah's first official time sitting in the grass. She didn't like it very much.

The three of us.

Fourth of July

The sun was so bright.
Grandma and Savannah.
Grandma and Grandpa with Savannah.

My bathing suit, cover up and glasses...July 3rd

I was finally able to get a picture with the glasses ON, since she kept taking them off and playing with them.
This cover up is so cute and soft.

My cute bathing suit

This is the bathing suit that Aunt Lesli gave her. It fits so great! Look at that little bum!! I can't wait to take her to the pool for the first time. We need to go soon.

Family moving into their house, July 1st

Savannah pulling on Uncle Ronnie's hair.
Hanging out.
My dad and Dodgie Boo Boo. Savannah is so taken with Dodger it is hilarious. She talks to him and just follows him everywhere with her eyes. If she could crawl or walk, she'd be chasing him all around for sure. It was so cute to see her first real interaction with an animal.
Papa Ron was so tired, but Savannah kept him company on the floor.

Eating a Popsicle

Loving it....
Loving it....
ohhhh....soooo good......
Ok, give it back, that's mine....
I SAID, GIVE IT BACK!!! URGGGG!!!

She was not happy that we took the popsicle away, but it was getting so messy. It was a orange one and I let her have a little of my cherry but she wasn't that interested. Funny huh?!
